Upcoming Cuts

skins86fan

so right

Skinz4life

I can't figure out why they have kept Devine around this long, especially with all the depth issues they've had at LB.

I think Moore will evntually be the starter by the end of the year..He has looked impressive and for that matter..Horton might move up the chart also. I would be suprised if Doughty is down to 4th on the depth chrt by the end of the year. Not saying he isn't decent. But these guys are playing decent and they hardly know the defense..So imagine when they get more comfortable. I still like Doughty though. But he gets exposed in pass coverage situations.

What do you guys know about Derrick Pope LB cut from the Vikes?
Hes a young ex-starter....and we arguably need a vet backup LB.

Who else is there at LB or DT or perhaps Safety that we should be looking to pick up?

Im kinda suprised they cut Fox leaving us with no experience at safety...
I dont like 2 rookie backups...I guess their primary backup just may be Springs if they dont find a quality cut

Horton has done well at Strong Safety...
Im not so sure about Moore, his angles sucked bad last game...allowing 3 TDS after 6 solid plays.

Perhaps he needs to adjust to the speed of the game...but each time his angle made him end up behind the ball carrier when he was the last line of defense....he obviously should be ahead of the ball carrier with his helmet crossing their body....it wasn't even close...until he corrects this glaring weakness,...I'd consider him for practice squad and be on the lookout for a decent Free Safety with experience....I never loved Fox, but he was servicable as a backup FS....It looks like Springs will be the backup FS unless we get lucky with cut dates

As most of you know i have recieved some heat and some thanks for Reed Doughty. We really wouldnt be talking about this if it wern't the sad death of Sean. Why do i dislike Doughty? (who seems cool) he was ONLY a replacement for Sean. When he passed he was there those 4 gms. In the offseason we drafted 2 safties which already told me he was nothing more than a special teams guy. When you respond PLEASE dont say laron landry or just give it time. Teams ARE NOT afraid to go after Reed Doughty!!!

Go back and watch the tape. Moore had bad angles because of all the tackles that were missed earlier in the play causing Moore to have to compensate for the missed tackles and thus creating his bad angles. The point is those plays should've been stopped way before they got to Kareem. And there is no way Moore is going to be on the practice squad, he is, as for now, Landry's primary backup at FS.

vallin21

I agree. I wont go out and say moore will BUT he will definitly be landrys backup.

dmvskinzfan08

I think we defnitely need to look at a LB in the pool of cut players and hope that some teams had to let some guys go because they are stacked at that position. Especially with Marcus hip injury that might plague him through out the year (hopefully not) and Rocky Mcintosh trying to get back in to game shape. Those are my primary concerns. I think the O-line will improve and I think Heyer and some of those other fill-ins playing last year might have been a blessing in disguise. I believe in Bugel he will whip these guys into shape. I think we should also look at some DTs. Just my IMO.

So: Toler, Sinclair, Fox, Smith, and Oshinowo are the five cut by this Tuesday?

22 more to go.

skinsnut

I understand that...however...he is the free safety...and his job is to make the stop when there is a mistackle up front....and there were too many of those...however....I am not letting him off the hook...he didn't do his "safety" job 3 times and that equals 21 points.

will mason make the final 53? an extra reciever? maybe mcmullen? i have to believe devine, rob jackson, tryon, and perhaps crummney and jason goode are all destined for practice squad.

Ruhskins

i think you have the right to your opinion, and yes teams are not afraid to go after Reed Doughty...but if we put one of the rookies there, they will also not be afraid of going after the rookies. I've stated that Doughty is an average players, I just get upset at people who just say things like "cut Doughty, put one of the rookies" out of spite without thinking about the situation. Horton could be a starter, but as someone said down the road later in the season. Right now if Doughty really f's it up, then the best option would be to put Springs at Safety, provided that our CB situation is set.
